Adjustable-springing mattress

ABSTRACT

In an adjustable springing mattress, including a plurality of parallelepipedal bodies made of a synthetic elastic material and being mutually coupled, each synthetic elastic material body houses an inner coil spring, each spring housing body being separated from adjoining bodies through a throughgoing hole, and on each side of the mattress, the corresponding spring housing bodies are partially separated by V-shape separating slots which longitudinally and transversely extends with respect to the mattress forming body.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an adjustable-springing mattress.

It is already known in the prior art to provide bed mattress assemblies, or sofa cushion or seating arrangements, by using coil springs, housed in small coil spring bags.

Said coil springs, in particular, are arranged depending on the size of the mattress to be made, and frequently, the mattress assembly is coated by a soft and plushy material layer, and the thus made assembly being introduced into a fabric material envelope to provide a finished mattress.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The aim of the present invention is to provide an improved mattress the resilient or elastic properties of which can be selected at will, to allow the mattress to be easily fitted to set mattress requirements, respectively to set seating characteristics to be achieved.

According to the present invention, the above mentioned aim is achieved by the fact that the adjustable springing mattress comprises a plurality of parallelepipedal mattress bodies, made of a resilient synthetic material and being mutually connected, that each said resilient synthetic material defines a body housing an inner coil spring, that each coil spring housing body is separated from adjoining bodies by a throughgoing hole and that on each side of the mattress, the corresponding spring housing bodies are partially separated by a V-shape separating channel longitudinally and transversely extending with respect to the overall-mattress forming body.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The subject matter of the present invention will be disclosed in a more detailed manner hereinafter, with reference to an embodiment thereof which is shown, by way of an indicative example, in the accompanying drawings, where:

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a mattress element;

FIG. 2 is a ghost perspective view showing an element of the mattress; and

FIG. 3 is a front view showing a detail of the mattress.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

FIG. 1 shows a mattress element, generally indicated by the reference number 1.

Said mattress element 1 is made by foaming a suitable viscoelastic material.

It is herein possible to join several elements 1 to provide a mattress having a desired mattress size.

The element 1 is made as an integral part and comprises a plurality of substantially parallelepipedal shaped bodies 2.

Each said body 2, made of a resilient soft material, comprises, in its inside, a spring 3 (not shown in FIG. 1) said springs 3 being advantageously made of a plastic or synthetic material. FIG. 2 shows a transparent assembly including four bodies 2 made of a synthetic material, advantageously foamed polyurethane, or other viscoelastic material, each said single element 2 encompassing or including an inner coil spring 3. FIG. 3, which is a view taken according to the arrow III-III of FIG. 1, shows a detail of the mattress 1.

It clearly shows two elements 2, housing in their inside a spring 3, made of a synthetic or plastic material, each said spring 3 being encompassed by the resilient or elastic synthetic material forming the body of the mattress 1, and schematically shown in FIG. 3 by the reference number 4.

The individual bodies 2 are partially separated from one another by a throughgoing hole, indicated by the reference number 5.

The provision of said throughgoing holes 5 allows to achieve a greater ventilation of the mattress 1.

Moreover, said individual elements 2 are separated, on each surface thereof, by V-shape slots 6, said slots 6 which traverse, in two directions, the body of the mattress 1, operate to provide the mattress with enhanced deforming and fitting properties for fitting the support construction, for example of a bed, a sofa or a chair.

The chambers housing the springs 3 are closed by small cover elements 10. 

1. An adjustable-springing mattress, characterized in that said mattress comprises a plurality of parallelepipedal like body (2), made of a synthetic resilient material and being mutually joined, that each synthetic resilient material (2) defines a body housing an inner coil spring (3), that each spring (3) housing body (2) is separated from adjoining bodies (2) by a throughgoing holes (5) and that on each side of said mattress (1), said corresponding spring (3) housing bodies (2) are partially separated by V-shape separating channels (6) longitudinally and transversely extending with respect to the overall mattress forming body (1).
 2. A mattress, according to claim 1, characterized in that said mattress is made by foaming a viscoelastic material.
 3. A mattress, according to claim 1, characterized in that said individual bodies (2) are joined to provide a mattress (1) having a target size.
 4. A mattress, according to claim 1, characterized in that each said soft resilient material body (2) comprises an inner spring (3) made of a synthetic material.
 5. A mattress, according to claim 1, characterized in that each said body (2) encompasses or includes an inner coil spring (3).
 6. A mattress, according to claim 1, characterized in that said bodies (2) are partially separated from one another by throughgoing holes (5).
 7. A mattress, according to claim 1, characterized in that said individual bodies (2) are partially separated at each surface by separating V-shape slots (6).
 8. A mattress, according to claim 6, characterized in that said separating slots (6) pass through the surface of the mattress in two directions.
 9. A mattress, according to claim 1, characterized in that said spring (3) housing bodies are closed by closed small covers (10).
